Ancient Greeks studied the stars.

The Ancient Egyptians and Africans studied Astronomy around 6400 BCE.

The Temple in Memphis was around 5300 BCE aligned on the star Capella. The Egyptians systematized the study of stars and knew about the Precession of the Equinox. See The Dawn of Astronomy by Sir Joseph Norman Lockyer.

The Greeks came later after learning from the Egyptians.
